Mr. Tucker's face was ashen by the time Gwyneth finished her performance.Sephina, who was sitting beside him, certainly sensed his displeasure. She asked in concern, "Are you alright, Mr. Tucker?"However, she presumed that Mr. Tucker was dissatisfied with the opening performance and defended Gwyneth after some thought, "Actually, the ladies' performance was perfect, especially the pianist. I'm genuinely impressed!"There was no hiding the admiration in her voice, and that only prompted Mr. Tucker's eyes to flash in displeasure. "Really, I couldn't tell!" He laughed coolly before adding, "Aren't you Tina Wilkinson's top student? Are you going to let someone rain on your parade?! Remember—I paid you a fortune for your performance, so you have to beat them!"Sephina certainly understood why Tucker invited her just then.However, while she would have been confident about winning before, things were different now—it was not obvious to the layman, but having played the piano for yea
Even though Aubrey hadn’t used that much strength, Henry decided to play along. Wincing in ‘pain,’ he pretended to be hurt while exclaiming, “L-let go! It hurts! For real!” Understandably startled, she instinctively let go… But she wasn’t going to let him off that easily! Pretending like she didn’t care, she crossed her arms as she scoffed, “You deserve it.” “…With how fierce you are, aren’t you worried that you’ll scare off other men who come across you…?” “There you go, badmouthing me again! Really, with how much you bully me, it makes me wonder if you have a crush on me! If you do, then be honest! Then maybe, we’d actually have a shot at dating-” Cr*p. She had accidentally said too much! Oh God, was he going to think that she was the kind of woman who casually confessed to other men now?! Sipping her coffee in embarrassment, all she could do was eagerly wait for Henry’s reply… If only she hadn’t been averting her gaze, she’d surely have seen how hopeful Henry’s eyes were!
Moving back to Gwyneth, she was understandably startled by what happened. After all, this was the first time that Aubrey had ever hung up on her so abruptly… What’s more, she also sounded… exhausted? For some reason? “Ms. Glen? The meeting…” …Ah, right. She needed to attend to that urgently. Still… Maybe Aubrey really just wanted to travel around to unravel a bit? That had to be it… With that in mind, Gwyneth nodded and put her phone aside before heading to the conference room… Liam was already there, and as he waited for her, his eyes were glued to the comments on his phone. Every minute, thousands of new comments popped up, complimenting his wife’s great piano skills… Even Mr. Tucker, who had spent a fortune inviting Trina Wilkinson’s disciple to liven things up, was forced to admit that he had made a poor decision… After all, the pianist herself had acknowledged, before taking the stage, that she was inferior to Gwyneth… As Liam smirked, Larry, who had worked long enough f
Noticing that Gwyneth, who had been shoved aside, was simply glaring silently at them, Liam finally cleared his throat… Before forcefully pushing Callie away! Thankfully, he was able to pry her off this time, and after making his way back to Gwyneth’s side, Liam growled, “It would do you good to shut up while you can… After all, we all know the truth of the situation!” With Gwyneth’s arms now around Liam’s, the crowd finally took notice of her again… and after a few seconds, they began whispering things like, “Hey… Doesn’t she look like Kinna? That Instagrammer?” “Right? Surprised to see her here…” “Wonder what her deal is with Mr. Luther…” Callie herself barely flinched… and after straightening her dress, she smirked and scoffed, “Hah! She’s simply Liam’s ex-wife… She still clings to Liam like glue, though. After all, she knows that if she lets go, better women will get him in no time!” Upon hearing that, one of the women in Callie’s group, who had grown rather fond of Lia
Upon arriving home, Gwyneth rolled up her sleeves and headed straight for the kitchen… and though Liam made several attempts to help, she ended up pushing him right out of the room. After all, though his intentions were good, everything he touched seemed to go wrong! “Look, either you leave me alone so that we can have dinner in time or you’re eating takeout!” Thankfully, he obeyed, and soon after, dinner was served… “As always, your cooking is out of this world!” exclaimed the starving Liam between munches… and in no time at all, he had wolfed everything down. Following that, the two cuddled on the couch to watch some television… But after a long silence, Gwyneth, who had noticed that Liam was quieter than usual, couldn’t help but ask, “Hey… Is something wrong?” Flinching a little, Liam took a moment to sheepishly reply, “I… May have eaten more than I could handle…” Chuckling in response, Gwyneth then said, “Well… Maybe some exercise would help? Consider giving me a massag
Upon hearing that, all Henry could do was sadly shake his head. Ever since he woke up this morning, he had been unable to find her. It wasn’t like he hadn’t tried calling her either, it was just… She kept ignoring all of them… Was this because of what had happened yesterday evening…? He had genuinely wanted to confess yesterday, yet… Somehow… Things ended up this way… After a long silence, Liam was prompted to add, “…So… What exactly happened for you to drink so much…?” Forcing a smile, Henry took a while to reply, “…Don’t worry about it. That aside, look at you two all dressed up… Going somewhere…?” Once Gwyneth nodded in response, Henry told them to have fun before slowly walking off… Naturally, this worried Gwyneth… but before she could call him back, Liam held her shoulder and said, “Hey, they’re both adults and I’m sure they’ll work it out sooner or later…” “…But what if they don’t? Aubrey was already a little off the last time she called me…” muttered Gwyneth who fina
It was shortly after dinner when Gwyneth received a call from Wanda. Thinking that it was just the daily report, Gwyneth picked up without zero hesitation… “Good evening, Ms. Glen. I scanned the area together with the project manager earlier, and we’ve reached a preliminary agreement on the land cost. We’ll get a more precise amount once the land analysis report is out, but I thought you would like to know first. Of course, I’ll be sending you all the data gathered through email later.” Nodding in response, Gwyneth said, ‘good job,’ and was about to hang up when Wanda suddenly cleared her throat and added, “Speaking of which… are you and Mr. Luther on a trip right now…? Your images have hit the trending tab and given how you like having a low profile, I wasn’t sure if you were aware… If you are aware, though… Are you planning to announce your remarriage…?” Raising a slight brow, Gwyneth quickly went online… and as Wanda had said, they were at the top of the trending tab! Aside
“…I’ll give it some thought. It’s not like I have to respond immediately anyway…” muttered Gwyneth before hanging up. Following a sigh, she looked at Liam and asked, “What do you think?” Since Gwyneth had put her second call on speaker, Liam was up-to-date with the situation… and after a while, he patted her head and said, “Just do what your heart tells you to… As long as you’re happy, I’m fine with anything.” Upon hearing that, Gwyneth couldn’t help but feel her heart flutter. Turning to look at him, she couldn’t help but notice all his perfect features… From his nice, sharp nose, to his seductive Adam’s Apple… He just looked so enticing in all the right ways… “…Hey… Let’s do it tonight.” Despite how confident and strong she appeared before others, Gwyneth was truthfully a shy and reserved person in private, especially toward the man of her life… With that in mind, the fact that she had requested such a thing instantly made her blush. Liam himself was momentarily shocked.
